[Verse 1]
Face down on the gravel
Cold taste of iron in my teeth
Sirens singing in a spiral
Red on the windshield, red on the street
Shards of my day on the dashboard
Phone still buzzing in the dark
Your name frozen on the glass there
I almost left you with that mark
[Chorus]
When my eyes flashed before my life
I saw everything I kept on wasting
Every call I never made
Every word I left there breaking
I was hanging by a single breath
On the edge of my own fallout
When my eyes flashed before my life
I saw all I couldn’t live without
[Verse 2]
Nurse says I’m lucky
Like it’s some kind of joke
But I smelled gasoline and pity
As the ambulance rolled slow
Dad standing in the hallway
Hands shaking, trying not to cry
I almost turned him to a story
He’d tell about the night I died
[Chorus]
When my eyes flashed before my life
I saw everything I kept on wasting
Every call I never made
Every word I left there breaking
I was hanging by a single breath
On the edge of my own fallout
When my eyes flashed before my life
I saw all I couldn’t live without
[Bridge]
I don’t want a stone with my name
I don’t want you choking on blame
I don’t want the flowers, the frame
I want one more day, one more day (one more day)
[Chorus]
When my eyes flashed before my life
I swore I’d never leave you guessing
Every second that I get
Is a second I’ll treat like a blessing
I was hanging by a single breath
Now I’m crawling from the blackout
When my eyes flashed before my life
I saw all I couldn’t live
All I couldn’t live without (yeah)
